    This by itself should be enough to have Twitter banned, at least temporarily.

    You don’t just get to retaliate for getting fined for breaking the law. That’s how you upgrade a fine to a prison sentence if you’re a regular person.

    He is hurting them by taking their revenue away from his company. Ouch! It hurt itself in its confusion.

    Tit for tat bullshit that you only usually see on the middle-school playground.

      Have you seen what we’re dealing with? Didn’t Trump just get a made-up trophy from FIFA to prevent a tantrum?

          I think they meant that the Nazi bots were Russian - Xitter turned user location on and loads of ostensibly American MAGA accounts turned out to be based in Russia!

            Some of them turned out to be in Russia. Some turned out to be in Pakistan. Some in Israel (including the Homeland Security official account). And many in the US itself.

            What percentage by engagement was in Russia and what percentage in the US?

              I didn’t memorise the numbers, lol! I just remember there being a surprisingly large number of MAGAs claiming to be American who were outside the US and specifically a lot in Russia.

              Xitter turned off the feature pretty quickly, but also a lot of those specific accounts that got outed as non-Americans disappeared thereafter. I suspect they came back with new usernames!

              I found the whole thing amusing because I always thought it was pretty braindead to think you were “making America great again” by voting for Trump, who anyone could spot a long time ago was going to be very damaging for the USA, and Xitter accidentally outing MAGAts as foreign actors was a fun example of rightwingers being to stupid to implement their biases without shooting themselves in the foot.
